2009 wm1

[Quaoar]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but during my regular cruise of NEO sites I picked up on 2009 WM1...over last three days its impact probs have increased....no real concern but I enjoy seeing how the probs wax and wane with each new ob.

Looking at its size, the time frame of the potential impacts, and how it will possibly be hanging around our orbit very closely from 2050 through 2100, I'm willing to bet that this one will end up getting mined out of existence long before impact :)

As of this morning 2009 WM1 has a Torino 1 rating. This is routine for early observations...still...impact probability has increased with each set of observations so far...
